Cycling

Cycling is a very attractive sport that can captured both our minds and bodies. The activity has helped me focus on problems as well as inspire me with new ideas. The first software I wrote was the Wheel Maker produced back in 1993, originally called Spoke Length Calculator, it has been enjoyed by thousands. While Bicycle Gear Calculator, completed later that year, continues to be a very popular product. Racer log has been the software dream I have been wanting to create ever since I started cycling back in the early 1980's and has been embraced by many others since it's release in 2001. Please enjoy, Gerry Kichok.
